[00:00.00]	作曲 : Leonard Cohen
[00:00.377]	作词 : Leonard Cohen
[00:01.133]	The rain falls down on last year's man,
[00:08.139]	that's a Jew's harp on the table,
[00:11.493]	that's a crayon in his hand.
[00:20.08]	And the corners of the blueprint are ruined since they rolled
[00:24.759]	far past the stems of thumbtacks
[00:28.262]	that still throw shadows on the wood.
[00:32.816]	And the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
[00:40.923]	and all the rain falls down amen
[00:50.977]	on the works of last year's man.
[01:02.786]	I met a lady,she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
[01:12.693]	oh one by one she had to tell them
[01:18.594]	that her name was Joan of Arc.
[01:26.396]	I was in that army,yes I stayed a little while;
[01:33.352]	I want to thank you,Joan of Arc,
[01:42.355]	for treating me so well.
[01:48.208]	And though I wear a uniform I was not born to fight;
[01:57.710]	all these wounded boys you lie beside,
[02:03.565]	goodnight,my friends,goodnight.
[02:13.528]	I came upon a wedding that old families had contrived;
[02:24.181]	Bethlehem the bridegroom,
[02:29.282]	Babylon the bride.
[02:34.84]	Great Babylon was naked,oh she stood there trembling for me,
[02:45.188]	and Bethlehem inflamed us both
[02:48.390]	like the shy one at some orgy.
[02:54.443]	And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
[03:04.696]	that I had to draw aside to see
[03:10.646]	the serpent eat its tail.
[03:19.550]	Some women wait for Jesus,and some women wait for Cain
[03:28.355]	so I hang upon my altar
[03:33.205]	and I voice my acts again.
[03:39.56]	And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
[03:49.259]	when Jesus was the honeymoon
[03:55.681]	and Cain was just the man.
[03:59.830]	And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood and skin
[04:10.551]	that the wilderness is gathering
[04:15.111]	all its children back again.
[04:23.962]	The rain falls down on last year's man,
[04:34.715]	an hour has gone by
[04:38.816]	and he has not moved his hand.
[04:45.567]	But everything will happen if he only gives the word;
[04:55.268]	the lovers will rise up
[04:58.468]	and the mountains touch the ground.
[05:04.521]	But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
[05:15.272]	and all the rain falls down amen
[05:21.973]	on the works of last year's man.
